SCHEICH IN CHINA - Scheich in China

Format: LP

Label & Cat.Number: V I S VIS002

Release Year: 2016

Note: third album by this project from Hamburg, associated with the legendary KRANICHE Club, Golden Pudel and Hafenschlamm Rekords => going into a more rhythmic direction this forms a kind of super dry minimal proto-techno, on the side-long track on Side B field recordings are used and a more free experimental collage is build... numbered ed. 300 copies

Scheich in China make exactly the kind of stuff you’d hope to hear during one of Nina’s far-reaching but focussed DJ sets and comes from another one of the club's elusive and extended possee, someone who alongside their nocturnal activities apparently spends their time beekeeping.

On the A-side they lash us into a trio of ever-decreasing drone techno circles primed for the grungiest DJs and clubs that crave a bit of murk on the ‘floor, but the record’s biggest attraction in undoubtedly the B-side’s 18 minute tract of treated and re-wired field recordings, all processed with a cold, hollow, metallic finish that make us feel like some invisible entity haunting the Hamburg docks and Reeperbahn at 6am.

If you fell in love with Alessandro Cortini's impeccable run of releases over the last few years, this one's a must." [Boomkat]
